Annealing
Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it
cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example
by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle(脆) —
that is, It will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does
not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as is
wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly, for
a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the
softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other materials, such as
glass.

”I would almost rather see you dead, “ Robert S. Cassatt, a leading
banker(银行家) of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest
daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century,
playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but
serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family ranked
among(跻身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social(社交界的) families, such an
idea could not even be considered.
That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did
not tremble before her father’s anger. Instead, she opposed(抗拒) him with
courage and at last made him change his mind. Mary Cassatt gave up her social
position(社会地位) and all thought of a husband and a family, which in those
times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard
work and perseverance(坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist
and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.

D. Ladies of good families simply did not become artists in those times.
76. What made Mary Cassatt’s “struggle” to become a recognized artist
especially hard?
A. She was a woman. B. Her father opposed her.
C. She had no social position. D. She did not come from an artist’s family.
77. What do we know about Mary Cassatt’s marriage(婚姻) ?
A. Her marriage failed because she never gave a thought to her husband and
family.
B. She never married because she did not want to be just a wife and mother.
C. MARGI After marriage she decided to give up her husband rather than her
career(事业).
D. She did not marry because for a lady of her social position to marry below
her was unthinkable.

Benin is one of the smallest African states. It lies in West Africa on the
Gulf(海湾) of Guinea, to the south of Burkina Faso and Niger, between Togo on

1893 to 1960, when itbecame independent(独立). In 1963 the army general Soglo

第7页 | 共10页a civilian(非军人) government in 1967. In December 1969 Benin had another
change of power with the army again taking over(接管). In May 1970, Maga and
two other men set up a new government, with each of them acting as president in
turn for two years. However, half a year after Maga turned over power to the
second man Ahomadegbe, the three-man government was overthrown by the army once
more and General Kerekou became president. In November 1975 Kerekou changed the
name of the nation from Dahomey to Benin, Benin being the name of a 17th
century kingdom covering the same place. Kerekou also announced that Benin
would be a People’s Republic based on Marxism-Leninism.

One possible version:
Zhang Ge Zhuang Primary School
Until 1988 Zhang Ge Zhuang had no school of its own. It was pretty hard for the
children of the village who had to go to school in other villages which were
all far away.
Now Zhang Ge Zhuang Primary School has three teachers, teaching 48 pupils.
The teachers had finished middle school education before they returned to
teach here.
The pupils are divided into five different classes, in which six subjects
are taught. These are Chinese, Maths, Science, Music, Drawing and Physical
Education.
Education is free for all children in the village.
things before they
happen is a sign of wisdom. Fear is nothing out of the ordinary. To admit that
we are fearing is to prove that we value our life.
And men should pay attention to the call of fears. To truly be a leader or
someone who is heroic and brave, we should focus on getting past these fears.
And it is frightful for people to go through life ignoring fears, because they
may often forget their heart and step into life without responsibility.
